I Just Realized


Recommended Posts

Almost all the time I smoke outside. So I kept reading on windcovers and how they improve the coal life and heat distribution. So I whipped up a home made one out of an Arizona Iced tea can after watching someone do it in the 'How To' section.

HOLY SHIT. It almost cut the amount of coals I use in half per bowl and the clouds were a whole lot thicker and bigger, just the way I like them. Edited by dizzbizz

is there any advantage to using one when smoking inside? can i use it after about 30 minutes of smoking when the coals have gone down in size keeping inmind i will be inside not outside?


It helps keep in heat when the coals start to die down giving you some extra time smoking.

i may make one today i got a bunch of those big arizona iced tea cans..


Just remember, the can WILL GET VERY HOT so make sure to use tongs to pick it up or something that isn't your hand to pick it up after it's been used.

I've been using a huge hand formed cylinder of HD foil as a wind cover for quite some time now. Won't smoke without it. I smoke near the a/c vent and it blows right on my hookah, gotta keep my coals protected! But I ordered a real wind cover the other day, I can't wait for it to arrive! If I'm not smoking through a Phunnel with my foil wind cover, I'm smoking out of a wind cover combo bowl, I love those things. Great heat management.
